I disliked the movie. It was action-driven and not character driven, yet there is not so much action that this worked for this movie. I found it boring. The characters were not developed well, which was disappointing as they are so dynamic in the book, and also is disappointing from a movie perspective, because people like to have characters that they can connect to. A pet peeve I have is how they immediately reveal Scipio, while in the book he is a bit more of a mystery, always wearing his mask and dissapearing at night. Another problem, this time technical, was the sound editing was bad; it was not balanced. I had to constantly adjust the volume, and I know it is not just my TV/DVD player. The kids were cute. Too bad the movie was not well done.
